Publishers Weekly Review

BookLife Prize Critic
"… The prose brings India to life, evoking the beauty and the harshness of the landscape and its people-a mirror image of the author's transformative journey. Stambush portrays her metamorphosis in easy tones, and the adventure she includes will keep readers engaged until the very end. There is a strong emphasis on independence running throughout-a theme that is echoed in the vivid descriptions of the many sides of India."

Despite never having ridden a motorcycle in her life, journalist C.L. Stambush impulsively buys a Royal Enfield Bullet and sets out on a 7,000-mile, 5-month solo journey around the Subcontinent determined to discover her true grit.

Fraught with danger and near-death experiences, she encounters ominous men, confronts culture clashes, and narrowly escapes homicidal drivers. Along the way, she crashes her motorcycle, loses her camera, her way, and her self-control-crossing lines she never imagined possible.

In the end, will the price she pays be worth it?
